In addition to taking public transportation when traveling abroad, many people also choose to rent a car and drive themselves to save transportation time. Recently, a netizen posted that while traveling in Japan, his headlights were flashed twice by a car in the opposite lane. His friend thought this might mean there was a police officer ahead, and sure enough, he saw a police car not long after. The original PO said that this was the first time he encountered this reminder method, and he was curious if this is a custom in Japan?

The original PO posted on PTT that he and his friends went on a self-driving trip to Japan. On the way back, due to the high speed, a car in the opposite lane suddenly flashed its headlights at them twice. The friend said there might be police ahead, so the original PO immediately After slowing down, I saw a police car after driving for 1 kilometer. After that, the original PO also reminded the driver in the opposite lane in the same way. However, he was also curious. He had never seen this kind of reminder before and wanted to know if this was a common practice in Japan.

In this regard, many netizens said that they have also encountered it in Taiwan and other countries, and it should be a common habit all over the world. “Taiwan also has this “light language”, which is usually used by truck drivers.” “Remind you +1, if you encounter this, I have been reminded several times when I have good luck.” “Taitung will also flash its lights to remind you that there is a police car in front, and ordinary vehicles will also flash.” “This is the case in Taiwan. If there is a police speed check, it will remind you.” “I have encountered this in Australia too. ”, “It has nothing to do with Japan, this is the case in many other countries, and flashing lights basically does not constitute an offense.”

However, some people are helpless. Nowadays, many drivers cannot understand the reminder and instead think it is a provocation. “More drivers in Taiwan will think it is a provocation, and only big-car drivers will use it.” “Taiwan would be like this 20 years ago, but now If you dodge an oncoming car, you will be stopped and play baseball.” “It happens in Taiwan, but it’s another thing if you can’t understand it.” “In Taiwan, you join the fight.”

In addition, some netizens pointed out that in addition to reminding the other party that there is a police officer, flashing lights also has other meanings. “Sometimes it is to show courtesy and the other party expresses gratitude.” The light may also indicate an accident ahead, or even a reminder of oncoming driving. I have also seen the car on the opposite side flashing its lights to let me go first when waiting to turn right at a busy intersection.” “I have encountered it in places where there are no traffic lights. When I wanted to turn right, the last truck flashed its headlights twice, asking me to turn first.” “Usually, it reminds the oncoming vehicle that there is something wrong, such as a police car or forgetting to turn off its high headlights.” “When encountering a traffic jam, the police car flashes its headlights twice.” Flash me the light, leave the space empty and let me queue up in the traffic jam.”
